I SURVIVED sudden cardiac arrest!!
It's all thanks to my wife and daughter for immediately calling 911 and performing hands-only CPR for 15 minutes! This kept my blood flowing to my vital organs when I most needed it.
The Montgomery County teams from stations 10, 11, and 52 arrived, and were able to restart my heart with a defibrillator, stabilize me, and get me to the hospital - where later I was probably the happiest person to have the privilege of sore ribs (keep pushing!)
Walking has been a major part of my recovery. I'll be wearing a red hat to signify being a Cardiac Arrest Survivor for 3 miles during the Heart Walk on November 7th.
Please contribute to help others get knowledge. training, and confidence in life-saving CPR. I'm living proof it works!
